I was just like you several years ago. However I'm a completely different person now. The first rule is "The only person you can control is YOU". Don't get bogged down in "why doesn't she do this" or "why can't he be. . whatever." The only person you can control is you. Its not what anyone else does to you- its how you react to what they do. Don't you see if you take everything anyone does or says personally you are ALWAYS going to be upset at someone. You have to develop what my dad always called a thick skin. You carry your happiness around inside of YOU!

Hi Danell,
I too have just started and these questions you ask where the same ones I asked. I didn't understand how I was not soppose to let others bring me down aren't these external things creating my stress?I asked myself... Well I'm going into week 4 and am realizing that If I wait for everyone around me to treat me right. I might be waiting untill my own funeral.. So I am starting to take charge of Me...I love the ones who hurt me with what they say but Instead of figuring out what there problem was
I starting finding out what my problem was. This program is teaching me alot.
Keep with it and you to will gain the control back your looking for...
Only God himself can change this world and the Bad and negative in it...And He will, until then Evil is all around us but remember LOVE CONQUERS ALL THINGS. I study the Scriptures it helps me understand things, Its not the same as going to a church and listening to man's doctrine. Here's a site that teaches the scriptures and God's plan for us His children. I suggest starting here if your involved with a church now, still give study a shot... Knowledge is power and if your getting it from the creator of this world it can make you a more powerful person able to cope. www.kingschapel.org or www.shepherdschapel.com
